Is this inspired by the forest

[JDawg]

is it made by the same people or did they just have similiar ideas for how to make a game?

[Nightchills]

no clue but its so much better.

Seems more to be inspired by Castaway, and media where your stranded on an island...seeing as the forest came out afterwards...but, i think its a coincidence...i mean theres no natives, no cannibals, no plans for the such, just using your wits to survive on some islands, and not get killed by sharks.

Nature survival games are a pretty old genre. Minecraft may be the most recognizable name, but there's been stuff like this for a while. UnReal World is an older one about surviving in a pseudo-Nordic countryside with folktale influence from those cultures, and there's a few other deserted island survival games. Stranded is a nice game, even with the developer feeling the need to complain about this game.

I do have to say that I'm enjoying the added physicality of modern survival games, though. In-world crafting is cool, and I really can't wait until you have to actually physically manipulate for crafting.

It's really not much like The Forest at all other than the similar plane crash start.

Thank goodness this one sticks to reality and there's no creepy cannibals stalking you non-stop. Much nicer setting too.

It's just a simple lost-at-sea survival game right now.

Made by different developers and the development on this game started months earlier than the forest.

same game engine though

"same game engine though"

oh right, yeah, the graphics and gameplay do seem similiar, that's what drove me to thinking they were made by the same people.
